For 12 years my brother-in-law, Nord, put in for a Bighorn Sheep hunting license. Each year he was unsuccesful but he scouted every year. When he finally drew he knew the area well. Weeks before the season opened he gathered all his equipment together that he would need for a FIVE day hunt and weighed it, replacing heavier items with lighter ones. He got the pack down to 80 lbs. including spotting scope, weapon. knife, tent, sleeping bag and food. The day before the hunt he had his wife drop him off at the Ute Creek Trailhead at 5 AM. The first 30 feet were down hill but that was about the only level or downhill the rest of the day. He got to the place where he wanted to set up camp 12 hours later. It being 5 PM he thought he'd rest for a few minutes prior to eating and going to bed. He just layed down when he thought he must have died as he heard female voices singing. He looked out and saw a Girl Scout troop walking by. From them he found out there was an old miners road no longer on any maps and only about 200' from his camp. Twelve hours with 80 lbs on his back and he could have driven there in just a couple of hours. It all ended well thhough,as he has an almost full curl RAM mounted in his home.
